“…This is coupled with encouraging students to participate in self-reflection upon their education and clinical experiences (Butler, 2007;Garrett & Jackson, 2006;McMullan et al, 2002). This combination of attributes has been claimed to strengthen educational links between theory and practice along with critical thinking skills (Garrett & Jackson, 2006;Karsten, 2012). These areas are crucial for the paramedic discipline.…”

The ePortfolio presents itself as potentially a highly useful assessment tool for students, encouraging self-reflection and the development of both clinical skills and theoretical knowledge by students identifying strengths and gaps in knowledge. A survey of students after the completion of the inaugural Emergency Health ePortfolio program revealed several strengths and weaknesses of the ePortfolio as an assessment tool of paramedicine students. The ePortfolio format was perceived by many students to encourage reflection and help them recognise areas where improvement was required. Certain students struggled to accurately identify the volume of information and concepts that should be covered while collating the ePortfolio which caused a degree of stress for some. The online format was another point of contention for students, with some enjoying the freedom of online education while others struggled to integrate multimedia components into their ePortfolios. The overarching student response was favourable and encouraged further implementation of the ePortfolio tool into the education of paramedicine students. This paper concludes that the ePortfolio has the potential to be a powerful assessment and more importantly education tool if development of the concept is continued into the future.

“…Sin embargo, en el ámbito del practicum la producción científica es más escasa, especialmente en España. Se ha utilizado para que el estudiante reflexione sobre la propia práctica gestionando su progreso competencial y como herramienta evaluativa en las prácticas clínicas (Arreciado y Consul, 2011;Kathleen, 2012;Serrano et al, 2010).…”

El portafolio como metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje y evaluación en el practicum: percepciones de los estudiantesGarcía-Carpintero, E. Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (España) ResumenIntroducción: La introducción de herramientas de aprendizaje y evaluación continuada durante el practicum es necesario para convertir a los estudiantes en protagonistas principales de su proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, de forma reflexiva y crítica, estableciendo un sistema de retroalimentación dirigido por el profesor. Una de las posibles estrategias que se están utilizando es el portafolio. Consiste en la aportación de producciones por parte del estudiante a través de las cuáles se puede determinar la adquisición de competencias y habilidades.

Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (España) AbstractIntroduction: Introducing learning and continuous assessment tools on practicum is necessary to turn students into the main protagonists of the teaching-learning process, in a reflexive and critical way, and establishing feedback systems led by teachers. Portfolio is being used as one of the possible strategies for this goal. Using portfolio, acquisition of skills and abilities can be determined through productions that the student must contribute. The present study proposes using portfolio as a monitoring and evaluation system for learning in clinical practices, to evidence consolidated competencies and analyze improvement areas, through a critical-reflexive learning.

“…Background E-portfolios are becoming an increasingly common way of capturing information for showcasing, employability, continuous assessment and evidencing professional development (Karsten, 2012;Green et al, 2013;Hoekstra and Crocker, 2015). The implementation of educational e-portfolios in the UK nursing and midwifery settings have, however, been reported as problematic owing to NHS firewalls and the incompatibility between trust informationtechnology(IT)systems,accesstotheinternet ingeographicallyremotelocationsandconcernsovertheIT abilitiesofNHSstaff (NationalNursingInformaticsStrategic Taskforce, 2012;Teague, 2015).While there are several case studies of e-Portfolio implementation including the Joint Information Systems Committee (JJisc) case studies (Jisc, 2008;,thereareveryfewreportsofe-portfoliosbeing implementedtocaptureformativeandsummativeassessment of practice that span over several entire undergraduate and postgraduateprogrammes.…”

The ability to accurately document undergraduate student nurses' development while in the clinical area is a requirement of the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Owing to a number of strategic and pragmatic drivers, the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Southampton has developed and implemented an e-Assessment of Professional Practice (eAoPP). This platform enables the student, mentor and academic staff to access the portfolio from any internet enabled device and has been rolled out in phases over 2 years to more than 5000 students and mentors. The key factors underpinning the success of the project are presented along with an audit and preliminary analysis of support service activity provided during the roll out to 380 students in January 2015 across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Plans for future development, including employability and roll out to other student groups are discussed.
